It's the playoffs, so give the gals a try!

The playoffs are here and boy, am I excited. After a long season, we finally get to a point where every game means pretty much everything.

Of course, I have to be talking about the WNBA finals (I did hear the Phillies have some big games coming up, as well. I'll investigate that.)

With the NBA lockout going strong, the Minnesota Lynx taking on the Atlanta Dream might be the last pro basketball action you'll see for a long time.

Game 1 of the best-of-five series gets under way on Sunday at 8:30 p.m. All of the games will be televised on either ESPN or ESPN2.

For all those shouting "It's chick basketball! Who cares?!" I think you should give these games a try.

I am actually not a huge WNBA fan, possibly because Philadelphia has never had a team, so I never really got to know the franchises and the players. It's sort of like, people in Nebraska are more into college football than the NFL because they have a college team and not a pro one.

However, whenever a championship is on the line, there is great drama and tension that I find irresistible. Star players flame out, no-names come through, and it's all a lot of fun to watch. It's particularly fun when you have no rooting interest.

I've been entertained by past WNBA finals and found myself actually not wanting to miss the next game. The teams in the finals usually draw big crowds, and that gives the games a real intense atmosphere.

So give the gals a try and watch the Lynx take on the Dream. You might actually like it.
